You have no idea how this works over there. Of course the persons elected are loyal to their oath. This is not America. When you quit Goldman Sachs and then join the government you are not loyal to them anymore.

It is true that Greece and Italy are now governed by well-respected specialists from their nations. There were no new elections yet but they were voted by a parliament majority, and they are the right persons for it. When your ship sails into the harbour you take a pilot on board. I don't doubt a second that these persons are the right ones in the current situation.

Mario Monti has a great track record as a EU-Antitrust Commissioner. I trust him 300 times more than Bunga-Bunga-Berlusconi and his party. He is one of the persons very much respected outside Italian politics and a professor in economics. He is the right person.

And Greece, watch their political class, look how irresponsible they reacted.
